New advanced metallic materials and solutions with tailor-made properties

The search for innovative metallurgical routes and new processing or manufacturing approaches, leading to supply the market with more attractive and efficient products notably in term of improved properties or lower production cost, is a permanent

Development of enhanced & competitive solutions for road applications

With several years of experience in the market of vehicle restraint systems and thanks to many worldwide cooperation, the Centre for Research in Metallurgy CRM Group has contributed greatly to the development of innovative solutions.

Environment-friendly processes for sustainable metallic products

CRM Group achieves sustainable industrial progress by developing green innovative technologies & processes in order to reduce its own environmental footprint, to ensure the viability of its activities, and to provide quality jobs.

Turning end of life products into valuable secondary raw materials

Manufacturing new added-value products through the recycling, processing or re-use of end-of-life goods and byproducts is one of the ambitious but necessary objectives of the modern industrial economy.

A reference in metal productions & applications since 1948

After almost 70 years of existence devoted to innovation & promotion of new technologies and solutions in metallurgy and metallic products.

A R&D Center of excellence, open to the world

CRM Group, is a collective research centre having as Core Members two major worldwide steel companies (ArcelorMittal and Tata Steel) and as Associated Members numerous companies producing non-ferrous metals, providing services to the steel industr

Recycling, to close the loop of metals

Steel as well as many metals occupy a key positon in the global concept of "circular economy". CRM Group is actively working on the development & implementation of new recycling & production approaches.

Turning Innovation into value creation

We have been entrusted with the mission of creating value for our Members through innovation in metallic products, metallic solutions and associated production processes.

About CRM Group

At CRM Group, our activities are centred on the production, transformation, coating and use of metallic materials. Since 1948, we offer R&D and technology solutions focusing on the development of innovative processes and products that create value for our industrial partners.

Our group combines skilled and experienced research teams with unparalleled testing facilities covering the whole manufacture chain of metals, from raw materials to advanced steel applications, ranging in size from laboratory scale to pilot and even semi-industrial production lines.

Technical Services

All tests, measurements, characterisations, controls, calibrations, … all the basic measurements that CRM Group can perform to directly answer the questions of clients or to support more complex studies and projects.

Projects & Developments

The present move of the modern industry towards a larger integration of the circular economy concept in its production scheme, the more intense application of digital and smart solutions for the processing operations and/or the products delivered to the market, the progressive implementation of new manufacturing technologies such as “3D additive/hybrid techniques” is driving the activities of the CRM Group, besides its more traditional actions linked to the core business of its affiliated Steel companies and associated members.

Industrialised results

Processes

More efficient production processes and higher quality products have constantly been the backbone of CRM Group R&D programmes over the years. TEMPCORE™, MULPIC®, SRM and SILICALLOY are a few of the brands which our technological results are commercialised.

Measurements and Sensors

Controlling production processes and products requires efficient and reliable sensors. We have developed various devices that are able to give valuable on-line information at very high speed despite the generally harsh operating conditions in the metal industry.

Coatings

New coatings that multiply the endurance or give new functions to steel products and advanced coating processes that allow reducing coating thickness, production and recycling costs, product weight, etc, have been developed up to industrial scale by CRM Group

Licensed Companies

Most of the industrialised results of CRM Group are deployed in the steel plants of our main steel members, ArcelorMittal and Tata Steel. Some are also open for implementation in other companies. This is often carried-out through trusted licensed companies.

Partnership

Members

CRM Group is a collective research centre having as Core Members two major worldwide steel companies (ArcelorMittal and Tata Steel) and as Associated Members numerous companies producing non-ferrous metals, providing services to the steel industry or promoting the use of metals.

Network and partnerships

As a collective research centre, CRM Group has developed numerous strategic partnerships to strengthen its networks and to share experience at the regional, national and international levels, where its expertise and competences in the manufacturing and processing of metallic materials are largely recognised.

Quality management

Since 1975, CRM Group has progressively set-up a performing Quality Management System.

Nowadays, the ISO 9001 certification for the « Industrial research and associated activities such as testing, calibration and expertise » rules the whole activities of CRM Group.

Beyond that, characterisation tests and calibration operations are managed according to the spirit of the European norm EN ISO /CEI 17025, following the official specifications of the BELAC system for the accreditation and mutual recognition of laboratories inside the ILAC (International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation).

Two members of CRM Group are now COFREND certified operators level 2 in leak testing. Leak testing is a mean to detect, quantify and sometimes locate defects in various applications. The skills of our operators are certified for pressure variation and tracer gas methods. Feel free to contact us for more information !
